With pressure on the pedal it doesn't make it's way to the floor. Master cylinder was replaced and cost me $200 for parts. It basically didn't solve the problem. It just made it less frequent. I still have to pump the pedal once to get it to act normally. Maybe the break booster has a leak and need...

I too replaced all the brake pads and front rotors. Now I have no pressure. Volvo mechanic replaced master cylinder and proffessionally bled the brakes. Feels a little better but not even close to what it should be. Pedal goes to floor but stops the car. If I'm using the brakes every 10seconds, the...

The stereo I'm replacing is SC-813. It also has no cd player. New stereo is Alpine CDE_9873, with MP3, CD, and I-pod cable play back. Can I splice both antennae into one so new stereo can utilize them in conjunction? Rear panel antennae up and down problems. Want one that is more durable or should ...

What is that second antenna cable in the back of my stereo?

98 S70

Replacing the stereo with an Alpine.

But can't figure out what the second and smaller looking antenna cable is coming out of the factory stereo.

Anyone know?

Is is a dimmer or speedometer cable?

Should I be hooking that up to the new stereo?

Thanks everyone!

Okay, I'm doing the same install on my 98 S70.

Using a new Alpine from Crutchfield.

Just can't figure out why I have two antenna cables. The second is smaller and I have no idea what it goes to.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
~Shawn

This looks like the best solution. It's a little more money that the adapter:
$200 apposed to $140
But your getting a new stereo (basically for an extra $60, plus another compartment.

Now will this Alpine fit in my S70?

Thanks you!

Thanks everyone! Looking for a 98 and there are many out there so this is good. The hard part is finding a grey or black leather interior. I'm told that a rear-main seal costs a lot to fix. So I'm going to have to look for leaks. Where should I be looking? Also, I should be able to tell if the Timi...

Want to buy a S70 but which one (just crashed V40)

Want a S70 (just crashed V40) Do not want AWD. Turbo or not to Turbo? I'm buying used with potentially around 100k. What is the difference between stock, GLT and SE. Should I get non Turbo because it has tons of miles? What is the difference in HP between Turbo and non. What year? doesn't 2000 have...
